Twenty-Nine Cadets Graduate From Hancock's EMS Academy
MAY 26, 2022 -- After 16 weeks of classroom and field instruction, 29 cadets graduated from Allan Hancock College’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Academy on May 26.
The cadets were recognized for completing the Emergency Medical Services Academy 1A during a ceremony at Hancock’s Public Safety Training Complex (PSTC) in Lompoc.
Upon completion of the training, the cadets can provide basic life-saving skills and have passed a national registry test to become emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
During their time at the academy, the cadets learned critical skills such as patient handling and moving, emergency vehicle driving and more. Much of the training was hands-on and utilized the state-of-the-art equipment and technology available at the PSTC. In addition to traditional classroom learning environments, the cadets also trained in one of the only community college EMS simulation labs in the state. Hancock’s high-tech lab includes simulation manikins and an ambulance simulator that allows students to experience and practice treatment of a patient while in a moving vehicle.
The full list of graduating cadets includes: Avellina Arredondo; Lars Barron; Bryan Cervantes-Rodriguez; Joshua Day; Anastasia Demorris; Nicholas Donati; Vincent Gomez; Alan Gudino; Mason Hammill; Manuel Hernandez; Desmond Julius; Nick Kitzmann; Jaycob Kies; Ernesto Ramirez; Kade McNamee; Kailey McNamee; Andrew Misner; Sarah Montanaro; Ella Moores; Margarito Paniagua-Diaz; Devin Perea; Adolfo Pineda Rodriguez; Elyaz Pu’a; Jose Santana; Jason Stone; Gabriela Uriarte; Abraham Villanueva; Ariel Wilson and David Yannelli Toca.
